Hello Forge Hub, and welcome again to another iteration of The Caption Contest.
I would like to open by saying that we are going to be doing things a little bit differently this time. In fact, I'll go ahead and say the reason this article is a couple days late is because I was trying to think of ways to 'freshen it up'.
Despite any changes though, this is still the same Caption Contest you know and love.
I will get to what exactly is changing in a moment. First, of course, we must see who exactly won the last iteration...
It should come as no surprise to most as to who won last week's CC. I had to get rid of some spam posts in the last submission thread glorifying it -_-
Amidst me complaining about rape jokes not being funny and then choosing a picture where rape jokes were probably the only joke fitting for the situation, Chuck used his Photoshop skills to make this picture and a well known pop-travesty quite humorous:
I still laugh every time I see that.
So enjoy your new Custom Title Mr. Chuck because you were serious enough to think outside of the box and earn a CT proclaiming how not serious you are.
Go figure.
Now, moving right along, let's talk about what is happening this week. If you have taken the liberty of peeking ahead and seeing where a new picture would be you have probably seen that there is a YouTube video instead. If you are a good little reader and have been following things in order up to this point then go ahead and take a look at this cutscene from one of the opening levels of Halo 4:

Got it to embed finally
Yes you may be saying, "one does not simply caption a video," and that's very true. It is pretty difficult to caption a video, but it is possible to manipulate the circumstances of a video to be more comical. That is just what I want you to do. Take this video and do with it what you will to make it humorous. Tell us Chief's thoughts in this event, alter the dialogue between chief and cortana, edit the video, or come up with some other off-the-wall way to make this cutscene funny.
Damn near anything goes in this edition, so I want to see what you all can muster up.
Lastly, as a consolation for this coming out a little later than I intended and the nature of the contest being slightly more grandiose this time around you will have until January 24th to enter your submission.
As per usual, the rules:
• Each member is limited to only one caption. If you post an entry but later come up with a better one, simply edit your original post with the new caption in place of the old.
• Keep your submissions within our forum rules.
• You may NOT post a caption that may offend another member.
• No discussion. Entries only!
The winner will receive a Custom Title reading: Forgehub Funny Guy
An additional perk to being crowned the Forgehub Funny Guy is that you will get to decide the next Caption Contest Winner's Custom Title. (restrictions to the rules apply)
This is a trial run of something different in the Caption Contest. Some may like it. Some may not. If you have an opinion to voice over it then you can do so here. Be reasonable though.
So good luck to all and happy captioning,
